This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
What do we drink now?

With the appalling story from the BBC "Sickness bug found in tap water, (BBC News)" echoing so closely the fears written about in "What replacements are there for main water?" (questions 20/04/08) we can no longer hide from the fact that water supply to any given area is a natural monopoly.As a result we have a shared resource and it takes only one person to make things very bad for us all.
In "Pissing in your own well?" I addressed the issue of Thanet and the risk posed to it's water supply. Until we have mass installations of personal rainwater reclamation systems this is a warning to us all.
Water is a commons. It is at risk.
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
